She’s added to her incredible run as of late by joining Bruno Mars on the remix to his song, ‘Finesse’; the original record appears on Bruno’s album 24K Magic.

Both Bruno and Cardi tweeted out their excitement of the record prior to its release with Cardi writing, “TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT FINESSE DROPS!!!O YEAA WE DRIPPIN AND FINESSE!!! I can’t thank @BrunoMars enough for the opportunity.”

Both Bruno and Cardi will look to win big on music’s biggest night, the 60th GRAMMY Awards on January 28th; Bruno is up for 6 awards including Album of the Year (’24K Magic’) and Cardi is up for 2 awards (Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance for ‘Bodak Yellow’).

You can expect this ‘Finesse’ remix to shoot up the charts for both Bruno and Cardi.

What do you think of the record?

I imagine that when Bruno Mars woke up this morning, and saw this year’s GRAMMY nominations, those lyrics to his now GRAMMY nominated song came to mind.

Bruno is among the leading nominees with a total of 6 nominations. He received nods for the big 3 with 24K Magic for Album of the Year, the album’s title track for Record of the Year and “That’s What I Like” for Song of the Year. At the 2016 GRAMMYs, Bruno’s funky hit record with Mark Ronson, ‘Uptown Funk’ won the award for Record of the Year, so he’ll look to achieve similar success at this year’s show.

Jay-Z leads all nominees with a total of 8 nominations, and in a battle of old school versus new school, fellow Hip-Hop star Kendrick Lamar is close behind with 7.

Jay-Z picked up nominations in some of the top categories this year including, Record of the Year (‘The Story of O.J.’), Song of the Year (‘4:44’) and Album of the Year (‘4:44’).

Kendrick picked up 7 nominations, including Album of the Year (‘Damn’) and ‘Humble’ nominated for Record of the Year; Childish Gambino (the music alter-go of Donald Glover) also picked up 5 noms.

One of the biggest songs of the year, Luis Fonsi’s ‘Despacito’ was definitely recognized for its massive 2017, as it picked up nominations in both the Song & Record of the Year categories, making it the first non-English language track to be nominated in both categories.

One of the more hotly-contested categories is the Best Pop Solo Performance category, which features nominees who have won a combined 15 GRAMMYs between them…Kelly Clarkson, Kesha, Lady Gaga, P!nk and Ed Sheeran!

Special shout out to Brampton, Ontario’s ow Alessia Cara who picked up a few GRAMMY nominations herself including, Best New Artist where she’ll be in tough against Khalid, Lil Uzi Vert, Julia Michaels and SZA.
